Our read on IYR

ETF.net Research

In short

BLaunched in 2000, IYR is one of the original one-ticker bets on U.S. real estate: REITs plus the developers, managers and property agencies that pure-REIT funds skip. Heavily traded, sector-median price.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index composed of U.S. equities in the real estate sector.

Why people hold it

  • Vintage 2000, and still one of the most actively traded real estate funds around, which is why traders reach for it when they want the sector in a hurry.
  • Broader than a pure REIT fund: the index also holds companies that develop, manage or own property, including property agencies.spglobal.comishares.com
  • The index applies a cap so no single landlord dominates, across roughly 60 names, and the fund pays shareholders quarterly.spglobal.com

Worth knowing

  • The 0.37% fee sits at the middle of the real estate pack but well above index rivals like SCHH (0.07%) and VNQ (0.13%).
  • One sector, about 60 names. Expect moves that look nothing like the broad market in either direction.
  • Reaching past REITs means part of the portfolio is operating and service companies, whose income looks different from a rent collector's.spglobal.com
